Nosey Mrs. Rat

Reach for this book when your child is struggling to understand the difference between healthy curiosity and invasive behavior, or if they have started 'spying' on siblings and friends. It follows Mrs. Rat, a relentless snooper who uses binoculars and disguises to uncover her neighbors' secrets, only to be outsmarted when the community decides to give her a taste of her own medicine. This humorous story uses animal characters to explore the concepts of privacy, social boundaries, and the natural consequences of meddling in others' business. It is perfectly suited for children aged 4 to 8 who are navigating social etiquette and learning how their actions impact their reputation within a group. Parents will appreciate how it uses comedy rather than lecturing to show why respecting others is a key part of being a good neighbor.
